Hot Cars + Pets = Death
I’m disappointed in myself. Last week Sean, Ripley and I were walking home and we saw a black Prius parked on our street with two little dogs inside. It was still quite warm outside. I walked over to the car and noticed that the windows weren’t even cracked open. I took a quick look around...
Music Tech Co. Investments 2011
digital music news posted a list they titled “Nearly $400 Million Has Been Invested In Music Startups This Year…” It’s a great list and I was pretty floored at some of the amounts. The thing that was missing for me from this list was info on the companies, what they were doing with the money,...
Multiplatform Group Texting
I’m working with a bunch of BBerry users (BAH!) and what I really want is to tap into their Blackberry Messenger (BBM) system using my iPhone. Although not exactly what I want, in my search I came across Group Texting services. I already had a few of the apps installed but never really used them....
I’m Not a Flake, I’m a Scanner

I Want My Family Home Back

The Invisible Monster in Japan
For the last couple of nights I haven’t been sleeping very well. I keep waking up from nightmares about my son, Ripley getting really sick. You might think that is just a normal parental worry and I’ll get over it. Imagine for a second then it’s not just a bad dream, that it’s a reality....
Alive in Silver Lake
I’ve put it off long enough, I *think* I’m ready to tell you guys about my project, Alive in Silver Lake. Five Rockband roomies in Silver Lake (Los, Angeles, CA) solve eerie mysteries involving ghosts, zombies, and other unearthly phenomena between gigs at the local bars and their day jobs. What is it? It’s a...
Transmedia : Post 1 of 5
This is the first post of five that I will be writing on the topic of “Transmedia.” Don’t worry, I’ll try and explain what it means and you in the back just be quiet about the name, I’ll get to that too. A little about me: I am by no means an expert on Transmedia,...
#SXStarWars
If you follow me on Twitter you may have noticed that some of my tweets were out of this universe, in fact, they were in the South By Star Wars Universe. That’s right, a mashup of South By Southwest Interactive (SXSWi) and Star Wars, hash tagged as #SXStarWars. This fun role playing game was created...
